Jazz guitarist and vocalist John Pizzarelli will perform a free concert at 1 p.m. today in the Campus Life Center Ballroom on the campus of the University of South Carolina Upstate. He has found his niche covering jazz standards and American popular songs in his own urbane style. His recorded debut began with his 1983 release "I'm Hip -- Please Don't Tell My Father." In 1993, the John Pizzarelli Trio opened various dates on Frank Sinatra's tour, eventually participating in the legendary vocalist's 80th birthday celebration at Carnegie Hall.
